Eulogy

Today, we celebrate the life of my father, but is also another celebration in heaven

because he has come home. He was blessed with three children and seven

grandchildren and he help raised cousins, nephews and nieces. They all looked-up to

him as a good role model and loved him. My father was a great man, he was kind

and generous. He loved all of us with such joy and pride. My dad is my HERO. I

could not ask for a better dad. I was always his little shadow and followed him

everywhere. I had so many good times with him. There was never a time that I could

not talk to him. He always gave me good advice. My dad always told me how to

learn to depend on myself. I was not sure what that meant at that time but I soon

realized the truth in his words by the time that I got to be a dad myself. Looking

back at my childhood, my dad showed me the sweetest love a son can ever

experienced with their father. Anyone whom knew him, will remember his good

sense of humor. I am very grateful for the lesson my dad taught me directly and

indirectly. I grew stronger, because of what he stood for in our family values. He

lived life with passion and enjoyed his friends and people he meet along the way. I

always carry a part of him in me. I take pride to hear ,“he just like his father”. He

will always live in my memories and when I look in the mirror I see myself as him.

My dad always will be my inspiration. The man, husband and father I am today is

because my dad was a great influence in my life.
